We have been clamoring for the sample forms or shall we say the standard forms just like what the GPPB issued previously. I opened the downloadables for sample forms but only the APP and Certificate of Cash Deposit forms are available. We are now required to apply the REvised IRR but until now we do not have the sample forms.

Can we still use the old standards forms (with some revisions to conform with the revised IRR and PBD) while waiting for the new? We have to facilitate bidding of our projects before the year end. Thanks

The sample forms posted in the GPPB website are, as the term suggests, mere samples of forms used in procurement activities. They serve to guide the procuring entities in drafting the necessary forms.

Unlike in the case of PBDs, procuring entities are allowed to develop their own forms provided that no statement conflicts with RA 9184 and its IRR. Thus, the non-availability of sample forms should not hinder or restrict procuring entities from pursuing their procurement activities.

Sharing my experience for Bids for infrastructure projects.(using the old PBDs and sample forms), In one of the Checklist Technical requirements is the "Duly signed Construction Safety and Health program" (check list reqirements for Bidders SF-INFR-30) of which no sample form was provided by the GPPB. During the Pre-bid conference prospective bidders would ask for sample form so they could be guided accordingly. The BAC Chair would ans then in simple layman understanding, you are in the constructions busines and you know more than we do, the required safety program needed for the protection of your personnel. ex. Hard Hat, Steel toe shoes, leather gloves, eye glass protector etc. things now setttled, even without sample forms provided

Thanks for that input. Actually when we had that sample/standard forms provided by GPPB before, I had some revisions made while preparing the bid docs. dlsn is right, they are just sample forms to guide us.

I made inquiry with the GPPB, the revised sample forms will be available by the end of November 2009.

Thanks sunriser for that information. So for now we shall make use of the old standard forms provided by the GPPB until we receive the revised forms. I really appreciate this forum, at least mabilis ang reply sa mga concerns natin.

Am trying to reconcile the old forms with the revised IRR and PBDs. I don't think we can use the old form as is, if only to conform with the revised IRR. I suggest we try to edit some items there especially the checklists (for eligiblity check and for the opening of bids), to comply with the requirements in the revised IRR and PBDs. Am I in the right track?

Reconciling the old forms with the new forms might be easy, but editing the checklist may not be in accordance with the new IRR. I do believe (and maybe I'll get some flak) that the new IRR should have already been accompanied with the new forms since they are the gist of the bid requirements, instead of waiting for the release by the end of November 2009. I mean I have a pending project for bidding and it might get scrapped because of the election ban, and in our company, there is no carry-over budgeting. If my project get suspended this year, I won't have the same budget for next year. The new IRR should have been published with the whole "package" - IRR, PBD, Forms.

To Othellorey, In your case where their is no carry over budgeting (why is that?), you really have to have that be undertaken. Sayang naman ung budget, d ba? Can you not use other modes of procurement? What about small-value procurement?

The Third Edition of the Philippine Bidding Documents for Goods, Infrastructure Projects, and Consulting Services are now available at the GPPB website www.gppb,gov.ph or see the links on top of this page.

(tutuklawin ka nalang)

Wala pang sample forms na available but you could use the old ones. ( sample lang naman po un e) you could make your own.

Do we have already the prescribed forms for our PBDs as provided by the GPPB? Marami na ang nagpapa download sa email ad nila (including me). If the forms are available already, perhaps we can just download it from the "downloadables" in the website of the GPPB. Some Bid forms are already provided in the different PBDs. But maybe if the GPPB can provide us now with the Standard Forms as in the previous IRR, we will appreciate it.

But if sunriser can download some sample forms, please include me in the list. (you know my email ad already hehehe , it's arayafe@yahoo.com. thanks to the samples for Security Services.)

hello, I noticed that there is a Sample Form for Bank Guarantee for Advance Payment for Goods coming from abroad.. What about form of Security for Advance payment for infrastucture? kasi the Old IRR does not provide forms of Advance payment for Infra, be it in Surety Bond or any other form of security.. 'Cause even reps from the surety companies here doesnt know what to write the conditions/obligations of the security Bond forms. Ano po ba talaga ang ilalagay na conditions dito sa Security for Adavance payment sa Infra?

Hi! We are from the Municipality of Claveria, Misamis Oriental, we would like to request for a copy of the standard forms for GOODs, INFRA, and CONSULTING SERVICES.... this is our email address mlguclaveria.mor@gmail.com.... Tnx....
